Patent number: 8216660Abstract: The invention provides breathable laminated articles, preferably free from harmful halogens and plasticizers, which can be constructed and arranged to be usable for any application, such as wallcoverings, where breathability and being free from harmful halogens and/or plasticizers is advantageous. For example, the breathable laminated article can be made from a non-woven, breathable backing layer of material, the backing layer having a plurality of microprojections on a first side, coupled along the first side to a top layer, where the top layer may or may not be breathable, to form an assembly. This assembly has at least one variation formed in the level of the surface of the first side of the first layer, wherein the variation in level is formed such that the microprojections penetrate at least a portion of the top layer to form microapertures that improve the breathability of the top layer.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2005Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: SHAWMUT CorporationInventors: A. Michael Nahmias, Richard Pierce, Kevin J. Souza, James H. Wyner, Marilyn Geller, Daniel Wyner

Publication number: 20070143942Abstract: The handle construction of the present invention includes a low durometer grip portion that provides comfort and an ergonomic benefit to the user. The handle includes a rigid core with a gel member received in a recessed seat. The gel member preferably has a durometer of 65 Shore 00 or less. A thin top finish layer, of elastomeric or polymer film, is optionally provided on the top of the gel member, such as in a thickness of less than 4 thousandths of an inch in thickness (<4 mil) to provide a durable and aesthetic surface. The combination of the molded low durometer gel member, with an otherwise rigid handle, allows for the creation of an overall handle that has areas that are more rigid along with areas that exhibit a very soft feel.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2006Publication date: June 28, 2007Applicant: POLYWORKS, INC.Inventors: Richard Fox, Daniel Wyner

Publication number: 20070145795Abstract: A novel and unique bicycle seat for a rider includes a base having a base top surface with an inflatable bladder having a bladder top surface. The inflatable bladder is disposed on the base top surface and the base top surface and the bladder top surface together form a seat contour profile. A pump is connected to the inflatable bladder to introduce fluid media therein with a release valve fluidly connected to the bladder to permit fluid media to exit therefrom. Also, the bicycle seat of the present invention can be configured to be in the form of a cover to be retrofitted to an existing bicycle seat. In this configuration, the cover includes a base with a structure for securing it to the existing bicycle seat. For example, this structure can be a skirt of material or other releasable type of structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2006Publication date: June 28, 2007Applicant: POLYWORKS, INC.Inventors: Daniel Wyner, Thomas Cafaro, Jeffrey Bowie

Publication number: 20060205544Abstract: An object with a dynamically changeable configuration is provided. The outer surface configuration and/or the weight displacement configuration can be dynamically changed to alter the characteristics of the object, which can be a toy, such as a football, baseball or flying disc. To change the outer configuration of the object, a cover having an outer surface and at least one aperture therethrough is provided. A surface changing member, such as a bladder, is urgable into the at least one aperture to dynamically change the outer surface of the object. To change the weight displacement of the object, the main body includes a first chamber and a second chamber therein where fluid, such as gas or liquid, can flow therebetween. The positioning of the fluid within the first chamber and the second chamber is controlled by a pump and valve system. As a result, the weight displacement of the object is dynamically changeable.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2006Publication date: September 14, 2006Applicant: POLYWORKS, INC.Inventors: Daniel Wyner, Richard Fox, Roger LaFlamme

Publication number: 20050266754Abstract: Protective laminates are provided that include (a) a layer that is breathable and highly impermeable to chemicals to a degree that is subject to reduction upon flexing of the highly impermeable layer alone; and (b) a breathable non-textile layer attached to the highly impermeable layer, the non-textile layer mitigating the reduction in the impermeability of the highly impermeable layer if the laminate is flexed. The laminates may, for example, be attached to textiles and used in protective fabrics.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2004Publication date: December 1, 2005Inventors: Daniel Wyner, Richard Pierce, Michael Nahmias, Gregory Carey, James Wyner, Ralph Lloyd

Publication number: 20050130521Abstract: Protective laminates are provided that include (a) a layer that is breathable, free-standing, and highly impermeable to chemicals to a degree that is subject to reduction upon flexing of the highly impermeable layer alone; and (b) a non-textile layer attached to the highly impermeable layer, the non-textile layer tending to mitigate the reduction in the impermeability of the highly impermeable layer if the laminate is flexed. The laminates may, for example, be attached to textiles and used in protective fabrics.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2003Publication date: June 16, 2005Inventors: Daniel Wyner, Richard Pierce, Michael Nahmias, Gregory Carey, James Wyner

Patent number: 6869900Abstract: A multi-layer protective fabric includes a thin urethane film, a flame-retardant fibrous layer, and a flame-retardant micro-porous layer. The film includes flame retardant additives, blocks a liquid chemical from passing through it, and breathes by an adsorption/de-sorption process to permit water vapor to pass through it. The fibrous layer is bonded on one surface of the film. The urethane layer is bonded on the other surface of the film.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2002Date of Patent: March 22, 2005Assignee: Shawmut CorporationInventors: Daniel Wyner, Robert C. Koeppel

Patent number: 6175944Abstract: A system for transmitting data over an erasure channel. A data block is divided into coarse and fine segments. The coarse segment is encoded using an error-correcting encoding process. The fine segment and the encoded coarse segment are combined and divided into packets, and the packets are transmitted over the erasure channel. When the data is received, the coarse segment is decoded. If data packets were lost during transmission, the coarse segment is reconstructed as the received data block. If no packets were lost, the fine segment is combined with the coarse segment and the entire data block as originally transmitted is reconstructed. For large numbers of packets, the system invention can achieve any point within the capacity region of an erasure channel.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 1997Date of Patent: January 16, 2001Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventors: Rudiger L. Urbanke, Aaron Daniel Wyner
